It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result

In 2016, the blue team won by 3 million votes and still lost the election. The system is broken. I'll still vote blue, but I don't think it will matter, especially since I'm not in a swing state.

The Electoral College Explained

DNC and DNC shills expecting free votes because they're democratically funding a genocide instead of fascistly funding a genocide

You morons in November when Trump inevitably wins due to horrendous voter turnout in November from former Democrat voters and not because the 5 communists in the USA made the difference

It's like a copy paste of Trump v Clinton and clearly no one learned their lesson from literally 8 years ago.

"I would fight fascism to my last breath" "I would be part of the resistance movement if a fascist government took power"

proceeds to do none of the un-sexy things needed to prevent fascism from taking hold in the first place

And then they ask "wHy dO tHe dEms mOvE tO tHe CenTrE wHeN tHeY lOsE i dOn'T uNdErsTanD".

If anyone actually wants to stop the genocide in Gaza please vote out your republican congressman, almost every Republican congressman supported the resolution to restart weapons shipments and almost every democrat voted against it.

I wonder what their idea of the outcome is.

Tankie: "I convinced 20 Democratic Party voters to stay at home (and did the same for 0 Republican Party voters). Wait until Democratic politicians see that more voters favored the far right party. Then they're going to move left and fall on their knees and beg me to forgive them."

(Cue scene: swastika-adorned tanks rolling past the window)

"Stupid liberals, unwilling to fight the fascists like us true leftists." (Watches tanks and twiddles thumbs.) (Fetches keyboard.) "Let's tell everyone online that it's their own fault and they deserve this." (Sudden sound of harsh knocking on front door.)

At best, their actions will "only" cause another grid-locked presidency where progressives can't get their reforms to pass (which will then be used as the reason to abandon the likely last line of non-violent defense against fascists).

I can't believe France wom that election

It's entirely the Democratic Party's fault if Trump wins another term. But their online cheerleaders are so keen to blame Communists who are such a miniscule percentage of the voting population. Are you going to start Muslim-bashing as well if they don't turn out in huge numbers to vote for Joenicide?

The sole "Trump will be worse" pitch and constant hostility is absolutely pathetic, and not an election winning strategy. Even your own party leadership knows it. The disconnect between the actual party and it's online supporters is huge.

Oh wow now they're Trump supporters and Communists? LMAO

This is getting ridiculous.

The biggest joke here is that US voters will ever be able to directly vote for the President

So how is the whole "blame-leftists-for-the-abysmal-failure-of-our-fake-democracy" gaslighting project going?

It seems a bit laggy.

I'm so glad that I live outside the US. Not that we have good options but at least more than 2. I guess I would still vote for Biden but I wouldn't call it a democracy

I have no idea what a “tankie” is, and at this point, I’m too afraid to ask

Oh, the massive hypocrisy of Biden refusing to swallow his Zionist principles and stop their Genocide, whilst at the same time sending his tribe's peons around to try and convince millions of people to swallow their Humanist principles and vote for a guy who supports Genocide.

Biden could pretty much guarantee a win tomorrow by announcing that it has been determined that Israel is indeed committing war crimes, followed by cutting support for them as per the Law when the recipient of help is committing such crimes, ideally followed by sanctions.

Yet he doesn't and instead there's a clear propaganda op with repeated variations of the claim that "Not being for Biden is being for Trump" (which, curiously, is just the authoritarianist argument "those who are not with us are agains us").

Why does the supposedly elected representative of all Americans firmly refuse to follow Americans as they turned against the Zionist Genocide and instead acts like all dictators by doing what he himself wants disregarding the will of those he is supposed to represent?

The argument of this and other similar posts which have innundated Lemmy would be a lot stronger if Biden wasn't an example of doing the exact opposite of what these posts demand from others, both the part of doing whatever it takes to stop Trump (which, as I explained above. Biden is not) and swallowing one's principles to stop something worse (i.e. Biden stopping acting as a Zionist in order to secure the votes to guarantee that Trump is stopped).

Try to think beyond your adorable little "protest vote" when your choices are between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. Or you may never have to worry about voting ever again.

OP does not know what a tankie is.

Ah the daily fascism discourse multiplier thread. There's never any meaningful discourse that comes out of these: just divisive kafkaesque noise.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

They often help fascists in the doxxing and smear campaign of more libertarian leftists, as an example.

oh yeah the notoriously huge and election-swinging group in the us: the communists.

don't delegate your problems.

"I have been heard loud and clear. Now I sit and lay back like I always do anyway, and wait while fondling my purity then absent-mindedly yet lovingly sniffing my fingers, any moment now they will cater to me."

At this point you guys should just take all the time it takes to argue "tankies" for HOURS at end and make these low tier memes and just form your own political party.

Winner: Democrat - "still fascism but its blue so its OK"

Not a communist, but I think I will vote for the person who most represents my values and policies this year.

Tankies when they finally create a dictatorship, only to work in the mines because the quota for poets was already met.

Reductive. Neoliberalism protects and foments fascism as we ratchet a little further to the right each election cycle.

Wow if the folks on ml and hexbear could read, thry might be upset - not sure they'd understand the math in the 3rd panel.

lol we already have fascism. They’re crushing antiwar protests, the media is in lockstep, labor demonstrations have been broken and they’re pissing away the cost of healthcare, free college and any number of other benefits on supplying a genocide.

I’m never gonna vote for Biden again and if you don’t want to either, consider voting for the party for socialism and liberation.

You don’t have to support the genocide.

fighting fascism

Seeing how the us turns into France

As much as I appreciate and agree with this post, the retards on the left have been duped by Russian bots just like the dumbass right wingers in 2016. Idk what it is about Russia's method of brainwashing but it's so effective that they made America forget how bad Trump was. All the "lefties" that hate Biden now can only mention Gaza/Israel and haven't the slightest clue all the good Biden's done for us. But that's what happens when you're young, horny and stupid lol

Well, I doubt even now citizens of any former Soviet Republic can vote for Biden.

See I think most on here are Republican Plants, Why simple they seem to not grasp Biden votes with the middle of his party. At the very core a politition thus his position changes with the party..

In many ways this makes him a good if not boring president.

Why, well if you elect people into Congress that generally vote with the Democrats that are alighned diffrently his votes will match.

People complain (including myself) about his non questioning support of Netanyahu, but look at how few members of Congress challenge that? yes Sanders did specifically on the isreal issue.. but who else even of the extream left?

Permanently Deleted

The Democrats and Republicans are all friends after hours. They meet up for dinner, have drinks, laugh, and then go back to their jobs in the morning.

🥱

Why is the the voters obligation to vote for shitty candidates rather than in the candidates to earn the vote? Biden is looking at a close race and the majority of voters want a cease fire.

300k to 200k in my state. It will be fine that being said other states it may make more of a difference

Just like when they taught Hillary Clinton a lesson. That worked or well for everyone, right?

That's a horrible waste of a vote. Please vote third party instead of not voting 🙂

But this is the whole point of the red fascists tankies

This meme is the classic them vs us, which by itself is how facism starts. The world is not so black and white. If I was American and could vote, then I would vote some third party that actually represents my views, since that is the only choice that would make sense. Also tankies criticised both trump and biden as we'll, it's not bad to be against the mainstream, if both options are shit. If everyone would think more critical this situation would not exist.

This message condones 80,000 votes for explicit fascism before accepting a single communist abstention.

Wtf is this messaging.

Ah yes, a system that is nothing like the American one, one without the electoral college.

Is this strawman clueless, or do you have no idea whats going on.

PugJesus doing God's work

I don't think you understand, having a fascist shithead in charge of the US is precisely the goal of these fine folks on .ml and .hexbear.

They want the us to be as equally fucked and censured as china. It's their only hope for not being the internet's laughingstock for another couple decades.

Hmmm, today i will attack any attempts to run a better candidate against trump

Fan fact: if all democrats witheld the vote the republicans couldn't govern either. That way we could get rid of both rotten parties.

Bro I see you here promoting Biden all the time, you the return2ozma of Biden, deepthroat him all you want but your candidate and your positions suck. I live in Brooklyn, NY and see more Trump flags everyday(and literally not a Biden Flag anywhere, Cardi B said she’ll abstain over giving him a vote), the only people saying Biden are proletariat, every normal working person I know is fuck Biden all the way. I keep hearing people saying we need to save democracy well then dump Biden, hes literal dumpster fire, and to the average person worse than Trump. Lemmy keeps telling me I am russian shill bot but I actually go outside, and I have people literally telling me I can deal with a racist president but not $4 gallon of milk when my kid hungry. I hate Trump, but tbh I hate Biden more, and most of America feels the same and feels insane that people tell us its not the same.
